Abstract

Background: American Heart Association/American Stroke Association guidelines recommend initiating treatment with IV tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in acute ischemic stroke patients without suspected coagulopathy prior to availability of clotting results; however, little or no data support this practice. We sought to identify how often blood clotting abnormalities were responsible for withholding IV tPA at our institution.
